REFLECTION
Power comes in two forms. There is temporal power - being head of your group, the big boss, able tothrow your weight around. But those who understand real power look to the second kind - spiritual power. This power does not seek to dominate, but to become so fully at one with the Tao that you never die, living forever in its ebb and flow. Immortality is ultimate union with the Tao and is the greatest symbol of true power, attainable only if you use this life - the earthly crucible - to help and care for as many as you can.
